Fabulous Rental

We absolutely loved this home. It was spacious - even bigger than it appears in the photos. The landlord was extremely responsive and helpful. The location is amazing - with several outdoor seating areas. It is so close to the ocean you feel you are aboard a boat when it is high tide. You can walk onto the beach from the house, through the yard, in about 30 seconds. Highly. recommend!

Amazing Property

My husband and I have always wanted to enjoy Maine in the fall. We couldn’t have been happier with the property and its location. It was perfect for the two of us and the view from the deck was gorgeous!! We would definitely stay again and highly recommend. Judy was a wonderful hostess as well.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I wasn't going to leave a review but Judy called me after check out and attempted to downplay the situation. Then she mentioned that she has other renters coming and did not want to cancel or inconvenience them by making the much needed repairs at this time. The more i thought about it and for the price we payed i felt i needed to warn others. Looking at past reviews i am aware this will probably be turned back on me negatively somehow as is the case with ALL the other negative reviews. There is a leak in the foundation of the basement which is where the second bathroom is located. Contacted property management and she sounded surprised and stated someone would be out to look at it. Judy then contacted me back and said the leak would be repaired after we left. Spent my week drying and switching out towels. Not my idea of a relaxing getaway. The leak appears to have been going on for a while as the baseboard is separating from the wall (I took pictures), there are old water stains on the floor and the house has a moldy smell which set off everyone's allergies. There were spiderwebs throughout the house in various locations.The grill needed to be scrubbbed before we could use it. On the positive side the view was beautiful and peaceful.

Beautiful location

We enjoyed staying at the cottage. The location was tough to beat. We watched seals play from the porch, osprey snatching fish from the water, and eagles soaring above the surf. The kitchen was well stocked. We had all we needed for cooking and cleaning. Our host was responsive to our needs when supplies needed to be replenished. Our host was attentive and lovely. The cottage is cute, but it needed some deeper cleaning. We may have been the first guests in awhile, for the place needed some airing out. It had a strong odor and there was evidence of mice, especially in the basement bathroom. This may be an uncomfortable place to stay for people with intense allergies. That said, it met our needs and we enjoyed our stay.

Waterfront Bliss

Words cannot accurately describe the beauty of this property. Located right on the ocean, the views are spectacular and we enjoyed every minute we spent here, taking in the sunrises and watching the lobster boats in Frenchman's Bay. We loved staying in Hancock, which is a nice distance from all the places we love to visit when in Maine Chippers Restaurant is right down the road and my husband enjoyed the Lobster Alfredo immensely. We find ourselves in Ellsworth and Bar Harbor often when we visit and this location provides a tranquility away from all the hustle. Judy is a wonderful hostess - very friendly, accommodating, and accessible. We very much appreciate any host who makes their property available to pets as well. While we have a pet sitter at home for our other cats, we were able to travel with our special needs cats. This provided a peace of mind for us and a memorable adventure for them. Thanks, Judy, for a wonderful week! Would highly recommend this house/location to anyone looking for the authentic Maine experience.

Absolutely Gorgeous and Memorable Experience

My wife and I stayed here for our first stay in Maine. The property is within 45 minutes of so many hikes and things to do that aren't even inside Acadia National Park. The highlight was Judy's friend Bob. We called him up and he was able to hand deliver a couple of Lobsters that he had caught that morning in the dense fog for us to cook up that night. The cottage is old and you can tell but it just adds to the charm of the coastal Maine experience. Judy was great at communicating and making sure we knew that if we needed anything she would be available to fix it. I don't think we could have enjoyed our stay more unless the weather had been a little clearer but can't control that!

Beautiful view but house needs a lot of work

The view was stunning but the house was not. First of all, the house smells very musty. The basement is non usable because of the strong odor. There were fans going in every room when we checked in so this has obviously been an on going issue. The stairs leading to the basement are VERY dangerous. There is no handrail on the open side of the stairs. Do NOT rent if you have small children as there is no door to keep them from going to those stairs. The house needs a great deal of repair.

Cottage on the water in Hancock

While Hancock is a drive to Bar Harbor, the cottage had an amazing view of the water (and night sky/stars) and all supplies necessary to enjoy our stay. The owner, Judy, recommended a lobsterman that brought fresh lobsters right to our door for a very reasonable price. We hiked, biked and kayaked for a fun, outdoor vacation…and even took in a beautiful sunrise from the deck of the cottage.

Decent spot with promise

Pros- great host, full kitchen, two full bathrooms, incredible view, direct access to the shoreline, great deck, fire pit, washer/dryer, great grill! Cons- leaky toilets, low water pressure, visibly dirty floors, showers had hair on walls from previous guests! My mom was with us and checked in several hours before we arrived. She did a bunch of cleaning and that made things much better. Overall a great spot and would have been excellent if it was clean.
